Bell Integration’s expertise in IT infrastructure, combined with Starburst’s advanced analytics capabilities, will offer a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to enhance their data-driven decision-making. Bell Integration ensures optimized and secure IT environments, while Starburst empowers enterprises to democratize data at scale, optimizing performance through the modernization and federation of data stacks.

As the data landscape grows increasingly complex, businesses face diverse data sources, legacy systems, cloud-native applications, and security challenges across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. Through our partnership with Starburst, the Open Hybrid Lakehouse, we now offer customers a fully integrated platform to securely access and analyze data wherever it resides.

“We want to avoid data teams spending time on data discovery, pipeline building, and costly data movement. Fast access to all increasingly disparate data, especially for AI and analytics, is key to the retrieval of enterprise data assets” explained Alison Hodivala .

Starburst is equally enthusiastic.

"We are excited to announce this strategic partnership with Bell Integration. Bell has a proven track record in helping organizations accelerate their AI journeys. Together, we offer a comprehensive Data amp; AI approach that brings added value to customers across EMEA.

Starburst is transforming the analytics landscape by liberating customers from vendor lock-in, enabling them to perform data warehousing analytics without relying on traditional data warehouses.

"In much the same way Apple democratized computing, Starburst is democratizing data analytics. We’re turning the data warehousing model on its head with parallel computing and high-speed networks, rendering storage-centric thinking obsolete. With Starburst, customers are free to choose where their data resides—ETL becomes optional, and all their data is at their fingertips," Bouffard added.
